Two Hanged for murder.

ST. LOUIS, June M.-Alfred Blunt, the
wife murderer, was hanged here this
morning for the murder of his wife In
May, 1886. He was a hunchback and
main tained that his wife despised him on
account of his deformity. He therefore
cut her throat and, not Satisfied with
that, hacked her with q razor and split
her head with an axe.
Edward Sneed was hanged in the Jail
yard to-day The crime for which he suf.
fered death was committed In Kansas
City, near q saloon called the ''Blue
'front.'" at the corner of Twenty-third
street and Drip street, on July 90, 1884.
he had been drinking nearly all day with
man named Orlans Harrison Leomis,
and about p. m. Loomis started TO 20
away. Sneed followed and an altcrc a lon
ensued, the nature OF which was widely
disputed. At any rate, in a very short
time, Sneed, crew revolver and, taking
deliberate aim, shot Loomis In the right
lung. The victim staggered half block
aud then fell, dying in q few minutes.
Sneed was given three trials, and was
convicted OF murder In the first degree at
each trial but the Supreme Court reversed
two of the cases on technical grounds. A
desperate effort was made by sneed's
friends and relatives to save him, but
Governor Marmaduke refused to inter
pose.

Some New Thoughts Subject That
Can Not BE Discussed Too Often.

Some New Thoughts on Subject That
Can Not Be Discussed Too Often.
If there is any spot where the amen
tiles of life should be freely ex-
changed, it is at home. Courtesy
should be the rule, not the exception.
1t prevents Earring, it dissipates mood
mess, it heals wounds, it ennobles
human nature. It is wonderful in its
subduing influences. It is contagious.
1t extends to the entire household.
The boys. with inward pride over their
fathers courteous demeanor. will be
chivalrous and helpful to their young
er sisters. The girls will initiate their
mother in gentleness and patience.
even when big brothers are noisy and
needless. Even the domestics will
show their appreciation.
1t seems strange that man will
speak more rudely to his wife than to
any other lady; or that brother will
be harsh to his sister, while to her lady
friend he is every thing that is respect.
ful-perfect gentlemen in society. but
Doors within their own homes. 1t is
sad commentary to say that some, nay
many. mothers, wives and sisters are
indebted for most of the politeness
shown them to those who are not mem.
bers of the household.
Family ties are designed to make us
sociable. We are not gregarious. We
were not made to live alone. We
must have heap of embers to have
glowing fire; if we scatter them, they
will flicker and die. In the same way,
if we want to live healthy and vigor-
Gus life, we must have a group OF
lives to afford comfort, encourage.
ment and support. Courtesy is mighty
in its influence to glorify the home and
to benefit the world; yet fathers ard
mothers are careless and Indifferent,
and allow day after day of opportuni.
ties to go by. Let us remember that
life is made up of moments, and that
succession Of well-spent moments
make up well-spent life.-Good
housekeeping.

"All brides are lovely, beautiful and

tough widows, and then they are anna.
BILE and cultivated.
"All merchants who advertise are
enterprising, wide-awake and credit

do not advertise must not appear in our
paper
"All old lawyers are able and worthy

Young lawyers are promising and sill
very-tongued.
Conductors on passenger trains are
gentlemanly and courteous.
doctors are eminent.
Farmers are intelligent.
candidates who put their announce.

are likely to be defeated.
